After finishing the drink, Wu Shigong settled the bill, and finally dug out the name of the inn he was staying in from the vague Sun Chengxiu. He also got the address of the inn from the waiter, and then he used force to break the soft as a piece of jellyfish skin.
Sun Chengxiu helped him out of the tavern. As soon as he went out, he saw Xue Qiang sitting on the steps next to him.
Xue Qiang was so hungry that his chest was touching his back. He didn't know how many times he had scolded Wu Shigong. Even if Wu Shigong didn't order him some dishes for lunch, it would be fine to bring him some steamed buns to satisfy his hunger!
The rules of the Hou Mansion were very strict, and he didn't dare to go into the tavern openly to order some dishes to eat and drink with the master without his master's orders. He didn't even dare to leave the tavern to buy some dry food, for fear that Wu Shigong would suddenly leave, and he would have to give it to him.
Mr. Hou is picking up his eggplant.
Of course Wu Shigong did it on purpose. In modern times, it was normal for Wu Shigong to go to a restaurant to eat, order some dishes for his driver or give him some money to buy a packed lunch. But just now Xue Qiang made Wu Shigong unhappy.
, Although Wu Shigong said it was nothing, he was definitely not happy in his heart, and there was no need to show his generosity in front of Xue Qiang, so he ignored Xue Qiang and asked him to go outside to cool off. Of course, he would not stop him
Xue Qiang left for a while to buy dry food. However, Xue Qiang wanted to obey the rules and refused to eat. Wu Shigong was so full that he didn't care about him? He deserved bad luck.
Seeing Wu Shigong going out, Xue Qiang hurriedly stood up, came to Wu Shigong's side, and asked: "Uncle, do you have any instructions?"
"Help call a carriage and take my friend back. Remember! You help pay for it." Wu Shigong just spent a lot of money and really ran out of money. He wanted to ask Xue Qiang to advance the money first and pay him back later.
"Uncle, how could you do this?"
I'll pay the carriage fare. Although it's okay for our Xue family to spend some money on your uncle, you shouldn't spend it arbitrarily." In his tone, the meaning of the Xue family and the Wu family was revealed. This time, Wu
The family married a son-in-law into the Xue family. As a bodyguard of the Xue family with a sense of collective honor, Xue Qiang certainly felt very proud.
"Okay! Your Xue Mansion is rich, so give me the five taels of silver I spent drinking just now as a treat for your Xue Mansion." Wu Shigong turned around and led Xue Qiang's army.
"Not today. When I get back, I will report it to the Marquis. When I go out in the future, I will bring the money out." Xue Qiang's answer was that he did not show any weakness.
Wu Shigong was so angry that he deeply admired Xue Qiang's courage. He secretly muttered in his heart: "If it were a modern day, you would have been dead long ago." Xue Qiang also understood that what he said was excessive and kept squinting his eyes.
Looking at Wu Shigong's expression, he kept shouting in his heart: "Get angry! Get angry! Drive me away!"
Wu Shigong thought again, why should he compete with this slave? Dogs can bite people, so why should people lie down on the ground and bite the dogs back? So, his face calmed down. Seeing Wu Shigong acting calmly like this, Xue Qiang was
Very disappointed.
"Then, without your Xue Mansion's money, you can just carry my friend back to the inn!"
Xue Qiang really couldn't refuse Wu Shigong's request, so he had no choice but to grimace, squat down, carry Sun Chengxiu, who was full of alcohol, on his back, and headed towards the inn rented by Sun Chengxiu.
After finally finding the inn, I asked the innkeeper about Sun Chengxiu's room, and finally put Sun Chengxiu on the bed in his room.
Wu Shigong served Sun Chengxiu, took off his shoes, and covered him with a quilt. Just as he was about to leave, Sun Chengxiu opened his eyes in a daze and asked Wu Shigong: "Will the wise brother no longer take part in the imperial examination?"
Wu Shigong was dumbfounded by the question, and was a little moved. At this time, Sun Chengxiu was still thinking about himself. However, his obsession with the imperial examination was a little too strong, which made Wu Shigong very suspicious. If Sun Chengxiu won the examination, what would happen to him?
The possibility of Fan Jin phenomenon occurring is definitely more than 50%. For the sake of the social well-being of the Ming Dynasty, it seems that I should prepare a straitjacket for mental hospitals as soon as possible.
"No." Wu Shigong lowered his head and replied to Sun Chengxiu.
"It's a pity. But this is good." Sun Chengxiu said the truth drunkenly. Sun Chengxiu also felt that with Wu Shigong's ability, it was unlikely that he would be able to pass the examination.
After leaving the inn, Xue Qiang then sent Wu Shigong home. There was some estrangement between the two because of the unhappiness just now, so they both walked forward in silence. Wu Shigong felt that it was better to relax the atmosphere, so he chatted with Xue Qiang:
"What is the name of the eldest lady of your Xue Mansion?"
"Reporting to my uncle, how can a young servant know our eldest lady's maiden name?"
Wu Shigong complained that he had been negligent. In this era, the maiden name of a female family member cannot be known to outsiders. "So how old is she?"
"Reporting to my uncle, the eldest lady is sixteen."
Wu Shigong shook his head. He was still a junior high school student. Change the topic.
"How is my father-in-law doing lately?"
"Reporting to my uncle, the Marquis has always been in good health, but he has been a little busy recently."
"What are you busy with?" Wu Shigong asked curiously.
"We are running a porridge restaurant."
"Running a porridge restaurant?" Wu Shigong was a little confused. If his memory was correct, running a porridge restaurant was for charity. But his father-in-law should be quite busy with official duties.
I feel like I'm not doing my job properly.
After listening to Wu Shigong's question, Xue Qiang explained it to Wu Shigong carefully. It turned out that now, Wu Shigong's father-in-law Xue Lian was on a mission to rescue the victims of the Wanggong Factory explosion. Wu Shigong suddenly realized this.
However, Wu Shigong was not interested in his father-in-law's errands at all, but he became interested in the explosion of Wang Gong Factory. Because Sun Chengxiu was a victim of the Wang Gong Factory explosion, and the former Wu Shigong was a deaf person.
The scholar didn’t know much about the explosion of Wang Gong Factory. When this topic was mentioned, Xue Qiang also became energetic. Because this is the topic that people in Huangchenggen talk about the most. Xue Qiang first talked about Wang Gong Factory.
He described the tragic scene of the explosion, and then speculated about the cause of the explosion with frothing at the mouth. Anyway, those reasons sounded more and more bizarre to Wu Shigong's ears, and they could even remind people of the forbidden curses in fantasy novels.
Wu Shigong scoffed at Xue Qiang's analysis. He already had a standard answer in his mind. It must be an atomic bomb that traveled through time at the same time as himself. Is it funny? Wang Gong Factory was the gunpowder factory and warehouse of the Ming Dynasty. The cause of the explosion still needs to be solved
Do you have other considerations? Wu Shigong despised Xue Qiang in his heart: "What a bunch of ignorant people."
After being delivered to the gate of Wu Mansion, Xue Qiang said to Wu Shigong: "The Marquis has given instructions to let me follow my uncle every day from now on."
Back home, Xiuzhu was upset by Wu Shigong. He was annoyed by Xiuzhu's complaints and nagging all night. Anyway, the repeated repetitions were: "The young master is just injured, so he has to rest at home." and "The young master is just injured, but he still goes to drink.
It will hurt your health." These two sentences annoyed her so much that Wu Shigong reluctantly agreed to Xiuzhu not to go out for more than ten days before the wedding and to cultivate his moral character at home.
And Xue Qiang was quite responsible. Starting from the next day, he waited at the concierge of the Wu Mansion with his carriage and driver every day. He also sent someone to tell Wu Shigong that he had paid twenty taels to the Xue family's accounting office.
If you don't have enough money, you can still pay for it. Wu Shigong was a little dissatisfied with Xue Qiang's attitude. After hearing this, Wu Shigong was furious. What do you think of me? A freeloader? Our young master Wu Shigong really doesn't have that.
He realized that as his son-in-law, he was a freeloader. Therefore, Master Wu Shigong stayed at home and left Xue Qiang to dry outside for three days. Xue Qiang's attitude was quite correct. He arrived early every morning.
He returned to Xue Mansion only after the sun set. But Wu Shigong didn't know whether he really had no regrets in his heart, and he didn't bother to know. After all, Xue Qiang was just a domestic slave. It seems that our eldest young master Wu Shigong is more and more
